Progress on the Bedrooms

Jack has transitioned beautifully into his full size bed.  And he is loving his new bigger bedroom.  His bedding is from Olive Kids and it has trains, planes and trucks on it, which are currently some of his favorite things right now. 
We still need to put up the window treatment and some pictures

Very comfy and enjoying the extra space in his new bed




I am still looking for some pictures or stickers for the walls and I still need to order the window treatments,  then I will feel like it is complete. I was worried if he would stay in his bed when it was time for naps and bedtime, or if he would try to sneak out and escape.  But so far so good.  Once we lay him down and cover him up, he might whine and cry a little, but after a couple of minutes he turns on his fish aquarium on his head board and he lays in his bed until he falls asleep.  And in the morning I will hear him chattering to himself on the monitor, but he will not get out of his bed until I turn on the hallway light by his bedroom and peak my head in to say good morning to him.  I hope all of this continues, but I also will not be shocked if it doesn't. 

The baby's room is painted (pink of course) and the crib, changing table and rocking chair are all in place.  I found her bedding at Pottery Barn, but I am also still looking for some pictures/stickers for her walls.  I have been spending some time on etsy looking for all of these extra little goodies for both of the kids' rooms. The princess is lucky enough to have her very own bathroom off of her bedroom.  We thought it would be easier for Nick and Jack to share a bathroom in the years to come than for the girl and Nick to share a bathroom.  So she has the bathroom, but Jack's closet and bedroom are a little bit bigger than hers.







Of course he had to make sure that the light switch in his sisters' room was fully functioning

Since Jack was the recipient of a ton of Christmas presents and toys we are putting the baby's room on hold for now and we are shifting our energy to getting the new toy room together.  I can't wait to see how excited Jack is when he sees his kitchen set (that he received as a birthday present) and his new train table and all of his new train sets set up for him in his own little area.  I am also pretty excited to gain a little more room back in our living room.  But I know that this extra room will soon be taken over by a swing and a bouncy seat.  

Nick was a trooper in the whole process of getting all of these rooms arranged, painted and put back together.  I think he has learned not to disagree with a pregnant woman.
